Hancock Outfit – 8/3/08

I’ve just returned from watching the movie Hancock (Starring Will Smith & Charlize Theron). What a wonderful movie!! I absolutely loved this movie! It was romantic, funny, & action-packed. I cannot rave enough about this movie!

As for today's outfit, I always look at my outfit pictures and think how it could have looked better. I think that this outfit was missing a Cheetah-Print Belt. So I am on the search for a Cheetah print belt! I saw one at H&M; however I did not purchase it! Now I totally regret it since there isn’t an H&M near me. =(

Hancock Outfit:

Banana Republic Martin Fit Pants in Black
Wet Seal Cotton Tee in Yellow – About $5!!
Wet Seal Tank top in Yellow – About $5!!
BCBG Cheetah Print Heels! My favorite heels because it gives any “boring” outfit that extra splash I love without looking cheesy! =)

Hilary Duff's Lucky Magazine Cover Outfit - 4/6/08

My birthday came and went. It was fun times but I always feel bittersweet about my birthday. Perhaps it’s because I almost never get what I want on my birthday.. In any case, I can always buy what I want! ;)

Below is today’s outfit. I saw the cover of Lucky Magazine a while back and loved Actress/Singer Hilary Duff’s skirt. I saw a skirt that looked similar to it at Ross, so naturally I HAD to buy it! In addition, it was only about $10!

In reference to Hilary’s outfit, I love the bold colors but I don’t think I would EVER wear those 2 colors together! It looks super cute on her though!

By the way, my outfit was not picked out of inspiration from her cover photo like I wished I would have! I will, however, try to recreate this look in the future! Keep a look out! =)

Hilary Duff’s Outfit on the cover of Lucky Magazine:

Thakoon Marcus - Pleated Sand-Washed Charmeuse Skirt in Hot Pink - $855 (wowzer!)
Vena Cava - Silk Chiffon Top in Orange - $414
Isaac Manevits for Ben0Amun - Gold-Plated Charm Bracelet - $115
Russell Jones - Onyx 14K Gold “Bow” Earrings - $495!
Cartier - White Gold Diamond “Tank Francaise” Ring - $11,900 (OOMGG!)

My ‘Hilary Duff” Outfit:

Allison Taylor - Pleated skirt in Tan/Beige - about $10 at Ross
(I forgot how much it cost! In addition, I received so many compliments on this skirt! I LOVE IT!)
Banana Republic - White Jacket w/ Gorgeous Buttons - $50
Banana Republic - Reversible Belt in Brown (reverse to Red!) - $15
Joan & David - Patent Brown Heels from Ross! - $16!

Note - Excuse the Dell box behind me! My "photographer" was not available to take my picture!!

Sisterly Love Outfit – 9/29/08

I spent half of the day shopping with my sister! It’s our time to catch up & it’s so much fun hanging out with her!

We went to a couple of Ross’ & purchase some goodies! Pics to come later..

We stopped by a couple Halloween stores. My sister wants to be a cow-girl or belly-dancer for Halloween. As for me, I want to be a sexy cop! Unfortunately, no costumes were purchased because we couldn’t try them on..

We also waxed our eyebrows and I got a deep shoulder & neck massage! Whew, what a day! =P

Okay enough chit-chat! Let’s talk outfit!

I really liked this outfit. It was professional but I love how the skinny belt ties the outfit together! I seriously would like that skinny belt in all colors!

Sisterly Love Outfit:
Banana Republic Pants in Navy Blue with Black stripes.
Banana Republic Skinny Belt in Black
- One of my favorite belts because it actually fits!
Black Top from Ross!
- If I remember correctly, this was less than $10!
Nine West Pumps in Patent Black

OKKAAYY, time to go back to studying!! =P

Eva Longoria Outfit - 7/7/08

Some days I come home from work and think to myself, “What the hell am I wearing?!” It’s kind of funny because I get ready so fast and run out the door so it is really easy for me to mess up my outfit!

Anyway, I think this outfit is one of those “What the hell am I wearing?!” outfits. Can’t really change now, can I? ;)

Actress Eva Longoria always looks fantastic! (See my 'Top 10 Fashionable Celebs' here.) I saw this picture of Eva and wanted to recreate her look. I even had the similar Earrings! My pants covered my heels just like it did Eva’s!

I had to add the belt because the shirt was a tad too big for me. I think it looked better with the belt because it made the unflatter outfit a little more flattering by accentuating my waist =)

Eva Longoria Outfit:

BCBG Striped Pants in Black
Banana Republic Long-sleeve Button-up Shirt in White
BCBGirls Heels in Patent Black
Banana Republic Belt in Black
Earrings not shown from Butterfliesdontlie on eBay (pic here)

Bittersweet Birthday Outfit! - 8/29/09

I wore this outfit on my Birthday. Birthdays are bittersweet for me.

Its not about getting old but more about..presents. I know! That sounds so lame!!

On one hand, I love anticipating “the best day of the year” (*wink*) but when MY day comes - I end up feeling disappointed. I think it’s hard for those who surround me to buy gifts for me.

It's bizarre because I think it’s so easy to buy me gifts! I always have a running list of items I want and, if all else fail, I LOVE CLOTHES!!! Gift cards are heaven!!

Anyway, back to the outfit! I adore the Glam/Rocker chic look right now! I love a feminine outfit with a touch of studs! STUDS are everywhere! I LOVE STUDS! ;)

Bittersweet Birthday Outfit:
Seven for all Mankind Skinny Jeans - about $70! I forgot the price because its been too long.
Wetseal Top in Black – about $10!
Wetseal Necklace - about $4!
Wetseal Studded Belt - about $1!
Joey O Studded Heels from Ross! - $14.99! See more on this item here!

Kim Cattrall Outfit - 3/24/08

Hi guys!

So I was looking through some pics of celebs today and realized that my outfit looked similar to Actress Kim Cattrell’s! I have no idea what she is doing but she sure looks like she is having FUN!!

Monday’s are always soo dreary! I hope that everyone enjoyed their day. As for me, it was “just another day”.. I hate days like this because it seems like life is just passing me by =(

On a lighter note! Here are the details to my outfit..

Kim Cattrall Outfit (my own not what she is wearing):

Guess Black w/ blue Semi-plaid slacks - These have a large opening at the bottom, which I love! It completely covers my heels!
Old Navy Teal Blue sweater
Nine West Heels in black w/ a cute bow tie on the front.
Necklace from http://www.bjewels.com/ - Here is a close up:

Selma Blair Inspired Outfit! – 10/26/08

Actress Selma Blair, who currently stars in “Kath and Kim”, wore this cute black shirt dress so I decided to recreate the look using my own shirt dress!

Of course Selma Blair's dress is different from my own. Her dress is more loose-fitting & includes a matching belt. I like the heels that she paired with her dress!

I like my shirt dress because it’s such an easy outfit! My H&M belt added perfectly to my outfit. I love how the belt fits my waist so well!! It's so hard to find belts that actually fit my waist!

Selma Blair Inspired Outfit:
H&M Skirt Dress - LOVE this dress! Although it's a little on the "short" side for me
H&M Belt – See more detail here
JoeyO Heels from Ross - See more detail here. I really like these heels but it gets hard to pair this with outfits! I was glad to have worn it today!
Black Beaded Bracelet

Purple Rain Outfit - 7/4/08

Happy 4th of July everyone!

This holiday is a great holiday. I usually go to the beach and camp out on July 3rd. Watch the fireworks and enjoy nature.

However, this year I have decided to forgo all of that.

Instead I am at home trying to get in the groove of studying. It’s so hard to get started but once I start its smooth sailing! I have even thought about disconnecting my internet just to get focused!

I hope you all have a wonderful, loooong weekend! Enjoy it & RELAX!

This is yesterday’s outfit. I wanted to wear my new BCBGirl pumps, so I had to put this outfit together!

Purple Rain Outfit!

Banana Republic Pencil skirt in Light Gray
Banana Republic Sweater in Rich Purple

Another LAZY Sunday + "Regular" Outfit - 4/13/08

I really HATE lazy Sundays, sometimes! It is super sunny out -- 80 degrees today and I am at home on my comfortable couch, like a couch potato! I want to be at the beach soo bad! I went to the beach yesterday, after many months of not going! I love being at the beach, it makes me feel sooo relaxed!! The sun in your face, this large body of water.. Anyway, I hope you are relaxing on this gorgeous Sunday afternoon!

I went to Banana Republic after work on Friday and picked up 3 pairs of striped slacks for $30 each! I had a 15% off coupon! I also went to Nordstroms and picked up 4 --- YES FOUR!! --- pairs of heels. Pics to come!! =)

Here is my outfit from Friday. It’s just a “regular” work outfit that I threw together because I was super lazy to pick out my clothes.

Turning Back Time! - 11/2/08

I like turning back time! I get to wake up earlier for a couple of days. Then somehow my body gets used to the time change and I get back to waking up late! Today I woke up at 6am!! Yippee for waking up early! =P

Anyway, this outfit was from last week. It is a super conservative outfit as I had to help with interviewing potential candidates for a position. It's really fun helping with the HR process! I love getting to know people!

Disliking Aldo Outfit! - 10/22/08

I’ve been so tired lately! Waking up tired is the worst feeling and it seems like I wake up tired everyday.. My next doctor’s appointment is in November and hopefully they don’t find anything too bad from my blood test. =(

You can’t really see heels in today’s outfit, so I snapped a picture of it on its own:

The heels are from Aldo. I have a rant about Aldo: I own 2 pairs of Aldo heels and both do not fit me! One is size 6 and the other is Size 5. I am a 5 ½ (Yes, I have small feet).I hate that Aldo doesn’t offer half sizes. It really annoys me because they have such cute heels! I don’t even bother shopping there anymore because of this fact!

Nonetheless, I still wear the heels even if it doesn’t really fit.. I know it’s bad for my feet but they are soo cute! Actually, for the size 6 heels..I even bought slip-in soles to provide a better fit; it still did NOT work!

Disliking Aldo Outfit:
Banana Republic
- Pants in White w/ Stripes
Old Navy Button-up top in Yellow
Wet Seal Vest in Yellow
Aldo Heels in Patent Yellow
Gold w/ White Bead Necklace
Gold & Silver Bracelet

Election Day Outfit! - 11/4/08

It’s Election Day!! I get soo excited over the simplest things! I have been super excited for this day to arrive. I just voted and it took all 5 minutes to vote!

Right now I am glued on NBC! I can’t wait to see the winner of this contest and some other issues that I voted on. =)

There is something really funny about Election Day. People wear this “I Voted” sticker with such pride! I didn’t wear my sticker to work but everyone at work wore it and they wore it with this great honor. It’s something I can’t explain, it's just really interesting to experience.

In addition, I learned today that you can earn money turning your space into a Poll site! Here is someone’s garage turned into a Poll site. I thought it was hilarious! The American Flag adds a nice touch.

Moving on... I love the dress that I wore today! It was super comfy and cute! I love the

Dresses are soo fun to wear! I wish I can buy more dresses!!

Dress from Ross – Only $17.99!! See purchase here!

I LOVE BCBG Outfit - 6/13/08

I just got back from Ross & wow are there good deals there!! Lots of dresses. Lots of goodies to purchase as a present for Father’s Day this Sunday.

Some ideas I saw as perfect presents were:

Gorgeous Leather Laptop bags, or rollie-thingies (whatever they are called!)
Luggage
Sleepwear (pajamas)
AND if you are old-fashion, a nice shirt & tie combo. I love this because it’s cheap, easy, and fathers need it!

Anyway, today’s outfit was coordinated because I wanted to wear something “BCBG”. I LOVE BCBG but I rarely see things on sale (well when I mean sale, I mean a decent price). The BCBG items that I currently own are mostly back when I used to buy items at regular (gasp!) price. The striped shirt I am wearing is one of those items that I never threw away. I’m glad I didn’t either because it still works well with my current wardrobe!

I LOVE BCBG Outfit:

BCBG Striped Pants

BCBG Striped Sweater

Banana Republic White button-up - $14.99!

Linea Paolo 'Mirage' Pump in Gun Metal - $30

Comfortable Outfit - 3/28/2008

It’s Friday!! Wahhooo! I’ve been waiting for this day since Monday!

I want to relax but I am so stressed out. I have to work tomorrow but I’ll work from home so it won’t be that bad. I’ll be working in the sweats!

Some days, I just want to dress comfortable but still look cute! Today was one of those days. I have to say that this outfit is no sweats but it was really comfortable!

Comfortable Outfit:

Wet Seal Brown Shirt - Soo comfortable!
Banana Republic Pants in Cream w/ Brown stitchings
Joan & David Brown patent heels - I wear this often because it’s so comfortable!
http://www.bjewels.com/ necklace & bracelet - The bracelet is sooo cute! Here is a close up:

Lazy Saturday..in JEANS!

I was so lazy to put together an outfit today! I guess we all have those days. I know I always stress buying clothes at really good prices but there are some things that you just cannot buy on sale!

For example - JEANS! I love jeans. I hope one day I will be able to take pictures of my jeans in my closet. I have a good amount of jeans. Unfortunately, I can't wear jeans at work. Another reason why I LOVE weekends!

Enough of my babbling! Here is my outfit for today.

Lazy Outfit:

Banana Republic turtleneck in maroon
Banana Republic black undershirt
7 For All Mankind Jeans
Nine West Heels - in Brown Suede w/ Gold trimmings. I bought these for only $28!!

Lisa Marie Presley recently had Twin Baby Girls! Below is a picture of her and her 3-month-old girls Finley and Harper! Look at how cute they are!!

To celebrate her new twins, I created an outfit inspired by Lisa Marie Presley.

It's kind of cute (yet a little cheesy) that they are matching.

Four-day Week/Weekend Outfit - 6/29/08

I hope your weekend was wonderful, now that it is winding down! This week is going to be a great week guys! It’s going to be a 4-day week AND a four-day weekend (for me anyway =P), with the Fourth of July coming! I hope that you guys have some fun stuff planned for the upcoming holiday weekend!

As for me, I am going to try to study hard. I know that I’ve been saying that a lot but get used to it! For the next year (or year and a half), most of my time will be spent studying (or shopping!). That’s life! Actually, after that, I will probably still be studying for another 2 years but not as intense as what I am trying to accomplish now!

Anyway! Enough about the “stressful” things in life!

Here is an outfit from a couple of days ago. I LOVE these new pants that I got from Banana Republic because it was only $11.97! AND it was in my size!! Cost more to hem the pants ($12)!
